    Reader note

    Both books are by the same author, and neither features a rural setting; the protagonists work in the city. The first, set in the 1950s, has a female protagonist who is reborn and seeks revenge before moving her entire family to Northeast China. It includes a classic farm setting and a spatial dimension. The second, set in the 1960s, features a kitchen, a daily check-in system, and a spatial dimension. Some initially commented that the second book was a "gold digger" story, but those who persevere will find it's a story of two people supporting each other. Neither book focuses on extreme characters; both are later turned into national projects.
